Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 81
“Emily, let’s see what Janet has to say.” Megan tugged on Emily’s sleeves, feeling that the current situation was embarrassing.
Emily turned to look at Megan in a pitiful manner. “Mom, Janet is jealous of me and has intentionally belittled me on purpose.”
Megan seemed troubled because she was totally clueless as to what went on. Just then, Old Mr. Collins stepped forward and said, “Janet was right—you know nothing at all. You are poor in even the most basic color mixing and, at most, only know a thing or two. Now tell me this, where did you get the painting that you showed me from?”
Right after he said that, the banquet burst into an uproar, but he continued to speak, “All in all, I realized that you were not the person who painted the painting—it was Janet instead. Therefore, I have no reason to continue with the discipleship ceremony today. Do you understand?”
Upon hearing that, Emily felt as if her feet were frozen to the spot, unable to move even a muscle. There were plenty of renowned bigshots at the banquet, such as the partners of the Jackson Family, friends of Old Mr. Collins, and most importantly, Megan.
“This can’t be real. What he meant is that Emily Jackson took someone else’s painting as hers and showed it to him, so not knowing the truth, he nearly accepted Emily as his disciple?”
“What he’s saying is that Emily is an imposter?”
“Oh, my! It turns out that she is this kind of a person.”
“She hasn’t even learned to behave like a decent person, so what’s the point of even learning a skill?”
“What Old Mr. Collins meant was that Emily stole Janet’s painting? She really has such courage to have done that!”
While discussing among themselves, the crowd cast their gaze on Janet, who seemed calm and composed with an expression that accentuated her elegance and beauty.
As a matter of fact, the turns of events had shocked Megan the most as she couldn’t have thought that such a serious incident actually happened in merely over ten minutes. Emily. It’s Emily again. She was really at a loss for words. Previously, it was the incident with Brandon’s blue and white porcelain. Now, it was the discipleship ceremony, which eventually turned out to be a joke. She felt so humiliated that she couldn’t bear to look at her friends and relatives in their eyes. However, as it was a public occasion, she could only endure it and glared viciously at Emily.
